The Laundry Lounge opened in Kamari as a boutique wash & dry: cashless, fully automated. TARAX handled supply and installation of the LG Giant-C MAX / Giant-C PRO 10 kg, the AirWallet connection and the automatic dosing setup.
The machines
On a compact line three stacked pairs were installed: professional washer LG Giant-C MAX 10 kg below and dryer LG Giant-C PRO 10 kg above — compatible load according to the LG catalogue. Each pair is numbered (1–3) so the customer loads the machine they paid for from AirWallet.
- Inverter Direct Drive™ — the motor connects directly to the drum, fewer moving parts, lower noise
- Stainless-steel drum, large door, hygiene programmes (75°C / 90°C) with 99.9% microorganism removal
- Automatic dosing (3-pump kit: pre-wash, main wash, softener) at the rear of the washer
- Dosing setup for Santorini water — the customer does not add chemicals
- AirWallet payments on the machine: app, card, phone or smartwatch
- SenseDry and Flow Sensing on the dryers (humidity / temperature and blocked-duct indication)

Why this model in Santorini
Kamari has seasonal pressure: tourists who need a fast wash & dry, without staff in the shop all day. The Lounge runs as an automated unit — boutique look, professional Giant-C 10 kg, staff on call via AirWallet Help / WhatsApp.
AirWallet locks the cycle to that specific machine: the customer pays from their phone, selects the same program on the panel and presses start. Automatic dosing removes a common self-service problem — overdosing, wrong products, or no detergent at all.
The customer experience
The space does not look like an industrial laundry. Yellow signage, wooden slats with LED, folding table and seating — boutique aesthetics, with wall instructions and a price list above the machines, so it is clear what you pay and what you do at each step.
The customer opens AirWallet, chooses a cycle, pays cashless and loads the numbered pair. Detergent, softener and spotting agent are added automatically. While the program runs, they can sit, fold clothes at the table, or leave and watch the countdown on their phone. If something sticks, they tap Help in the app or WhatsApp — staff are on call, with no till needed in the shop.
Outside, the illuminated “Boutique Wash & Dry Experience” sign makes the Lounge visible from the street, day and night — useful in Kamari, where many customers are visitors looking for a clean, fast wash & dry with no appointment.
